Today’s topic is the Bat family.
No real reason, just Bat family fics I’ve enjoyed. Admittedly I have a weakness for Jason Todd fics, so he’s possibly a little over-represented. Mostly gen, ensemble fics featuring two or more Batmen, Batwomen, Robins, and the like.

Bruno better be proud. Abbacchio's really trying to be a better person.

Warnings: mild angst
Other notes: soul mates, au, episode-based, worldbuilding
Length: 9k

Occasionally, the music pauses just long enough for his brain to point out observations about Shouto that make Izuku want to stick his head under the waves and just breathe in.

Warnings: angst, break-up/divorce, unrequited love, depression
Other notes: post-canon, canon divergence, hurt/comfort, clones

But Keith is here. That changed everything.
Keith had cared about Shiro - well, who he thought was Shiro, even after. Keith had cared about the clone back then, even knowing what he was, even knowing what he tried to do to their team, their family. Keith had told that clone that he-
It’s doesn’t matter, right now.
Keith is here, and Shiro's not going to make Keith watch him die another time.
So he says, "Wake him up."
Or: Shiro watches Keith and his clone Kuro together, and sees a glimpse of what could've been if he had made different choices.

“No,” says Yuri. “We haven’t.”

Title: “Be My Sex Coach, Victor!”
Author: lucycamui
Fandom: Yuri!!! on Ice
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Victor/Yuuri
Warnings: explicit sex (gay), discussion of sex work
Other notes: au, romcom, dating, bad sex, miscommunciations, angst, wedding
Length: 86k + sequels
Summary: Yuuri Katsuki has always been his own worst critic, and a series of unfortunate short-lived relationships has him convinced that he flubs things more in the bedroom than out on the ice. So, of course it would turn out that the ridiculously charming Russian he's matched with online is a pornstar.
But perhaps, a 'professional opinion' is exactly what Yuuri needs...

Title: As A Star, Forever Out of Reach
Author: Neyasochi
Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Shiro/Keith
Warnings: explicit sex (gay), possession/forced control, violence, warfare, character injury/disability, loss of a limb, classism, discussion of starvation, blood drinking
Other notes: AU, fantasy AU, royalty, slow burn, combat and warfare, so many pets
Length: 75k
Summary: The intensely devoted friendship between Prince Takashi and Keith, a lowborn rogue from the arid southern wastelands, was unexpected to say the least. It’s the stuff of street-plays and penny-novels— a commoner plucked from the grimey alleys to serve as the prince’s right-hand and confidant— and for a time, Keith even dares to believe that it will last. But the disappearance and presumed death of Prince Takashi while on an expedition to the borderlands brings everything he’d hoped for to ruin, and while the kingdom mourns its prince, Keith mourns the loss of his closest friend. Bereft, he sets out on a journey to the lost places along Arus’ borders, strung along by a distant call he cannot place.
Fate is kind enough to bring them back together, but not without first exacting a terrible toll on the prince: he is delivered into Keith’s arms with shattered memories and a cursed metal arm, his confidence shaken and his throne usurped, and the ill-boding news of the long-dormant Galra Empire’s imminent invasion. Keith is resolved to stay by his prince’s side this time, no matter the cost— even as their search for answers leads them to the very heart of enemy territory.

Title: Like a Lion
Author: p0rth0s
Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Keith/Shiro
Warnings: PTSD, depression, explicit sex (gay)
Other notes: hurt/comfort, post-war
Length: 9k
Summary: “Where does it hurt?”
Keith doesn’t elaborate, and Shiro doesn’t ask him to. Just raises his prosthetic hand in a loose fist and lets it fall sluggishly on his own chest where he guesses his heart is hidden.
Two times. Here. It hurts here.
Keith doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t reach up to wipe the tears from his face. He props himself up on an elbow and leans down to first lay a dry kiss to Shiro's chest, and then lay his soft, heavy head. His ear pressed over Shiro’s plaintive heart where it slowly beats on through the night.
